I Have a passion for Products/features. Anyone have experience going into a junior Product Owner role?

I’ve been in IT for 10 years. Desktop, NOC, web server implementations, POS, site trainer, now service delivery analyst in fintech world.

I thought about DevOps, but product / UI / Features excites me more. Having technical knowledge helps me communicate with devs, but I also have the people skills / mindset for product.

Just looking for guidance on how to land a product role. Thanks!

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
